Export and Import Overview

You can export and import pipeline fragments, pipelines, jobs, and topologies from
Control Hub.

Export
objects to create backups. Or export and import objects to migrate them from one
organization to another organization.

Note: You can also export pipelines from a Data Collector
that is not registered with Control Hub,
and then import those pipelines into Control Hub.

When you export or import objects, Control Hub
includes all dependent objects. For example, when you export a job, Control Hub
also exports the pipeline version included in the job. When you export a topology, Control Hub
also exports all jobs and pipeline versions included in the topology. If a pipeline,
job, or topology contains pipeline fragments, Control Hub
exports the fragment versions being used along with other dependent objects.

When you import an object, Control Hub
retains the object ID, replacing the organization ID as needed. For example, let's say
that you export a pipeline from the Dev organization with the following pipeline
ID:

8da064a0-b227-4f2f-afbb-c022b859964d:Dev

You import the pipeline into the Prod organization. The imported pipeline has the
following ID:

8da064a0-b227-4f2f-afbb-c022b859964d:Prod

Control Hub also
retains metadata about the source organization and source installation when you export
an object. After importing the object into a target organization, you can click the
Additional Information link in the object details to view the source organization and
source URL for the object.

Control Hub does
not retain object permissions when you export an object. When you import the object, you
become the owner of that object and have full access to the object. When you import an
object that contains dependent objects, you become the owner of all the objects. You can
share the
imported objects with other users to grant others access to the objects.
